was that he was born in England and made his fortune in America. And if the reverse had been true, and he'd been born in America and made his fortune in England, he never would have become an English citizen either. He simply didn't believe in the kind of patriotism that is knee-jerk in most countries. He didn't partake of it. He considered himself, his phrase was, I'm a citizen of the world.

He got his back up. He was enraged. He was furious. And he didn't want to be a guest at the party if he was disinvited.

Oh, God, yes, yes. Would he have done this on his own? No, I don't think there's any scenario under which he would have left America on his own. He had a wife. He had four young children at this point with Una. They were all under the age of, I believe, eight. They were all, you know, going to school. He had an infrastructure. He had his own studio on La Brea Avenue.

He was part owner of United Artists, a major releasing organization. And he was 63 years old. And he figured he probably had 10 more years. He was not about to leave. He lived in one house in California for his entire life. He'd been in one house for 30-odd years. He was not a guy who pulled up stakes quickly or easily or hopped around. So he was going to be a lifer in Southern California.

The fact that that choice was taken away from him, Enraged him and it's never really been obvious how enraged he was Until you read the letters that I found in the chaplain archives that he wrote to friends like James Agee Where he does vent and he's clearly? Carrying around a load of anger verging on rage about what was done to him

Totally false. None of his films were shown in the Soviet Union until the Gorbachev era because the Soviet Union wouldn't pay the money that Chaplin thought they should to rent the films. And he wasn't going to give them to him for free.

Extremely successful. Extremely successful. Limelight was a huge hit in Europe. Actually, it made more money than any other Chaplin film in terms of European grosses. But a lot of places in America never saw it because the American Legion would show up and picket it. and tell people going in that they were being un-American by going to see an un-American picture by an un-American artist.
